There's always strings attached.

Now that we have covid under control, maybe the pharmas can find a vaccine for lgbtq.

He's right.

This one is not likely to withstand judicial scrutiny. Like when trump tried to punish so-called “sanctuary cities”.

There really needs to be a reasonably close relationship between the purpose of the funding and the requirements placed on it.

But it does make my point about religious schools I made the other day.

Yep, I thought about that when I read the post.

Of course, some Super Pac is going to run ads saying that Biden is trying to starve poor Catholic kids…

I believe the point was that religious schools are unwise to take money to which strings may become attached. I don’t think that’s established. The unwise part would be allocating such money in a way that the school is entirely dependent on it.

That the government uses threats of revoking existing funding from private and state/municipal actors in order to push its political agenda is well established. You just haven’t been paying attention.

I am and have been well aware of that and opposed it for a very long time. Remember, I worked in healthcare.

If you had been paying attention to the conversation, you would know I haven’t claimed differently. But here we are.
